Getting some strong toffee and molasses notes. Drinks a little light. Quite nice other than a bit of waxy finish.

A nice light smattering of fruit in the nose. Granville Island produces pretty mild but palatable beers, and this one is no different. The malt is smooth and clean and there are solid hints of orange, melon and lemon in the taste profile. It is a bit of a light weight for a 4.6% session IPA, but refreshing and tasty.
